sec.30 Application for suspension of registered training contract by the parties to the contract
The parties to a registered training contract may apply to the chief executive to suspend the contract for a period not exceeding 1 year. The application must be in the approved form and must state the following— the reasons for the proposed suspension; the period of the proposed suspension; the day the proposed suspension is to take effect, being not less than 7 days after the application is given to the chief executive; that the proposed suspension is agreed to by each of the parties to the registered training contract. If the apprentice or trainee under the registered training contract is under 18 years, the application must include the signed consent of a parent of the apprentice or trainee. However, subsection (3) does not apply if it would be inappropriate in all the circumstances for a parent to give signed consent. It may be inappropriate for a parent to give signed consent if the apprentice or trainee is living independently of his or her parents.
